Cure For PCOS - Two Magic Herbs That Work Wonders.

By Crystal Adeyemi

Is there a cure for PCOS? The answer is Yes- Combine three simple things and you will notice a big difference. Good Nutrition, natural herbs and regular exercise all combine to reduce the symptoms of PCOS and Ovarian Cysts.

Herbs in particular are extremely useful in the treatment of PCOS, because they are much gentler on the body, have fewer side effects than synthetic drugs and can be used for sustained periods of time.

Two powerful herbs that have been used for generations and shown very promising effects are:

1. Agnus Castus (Vitex/Chastetree Berry): This herb has a direct effect on the pituitary gland. This gland is involved in regulating hormone production and the menstrual cycle.

It is an adaptogen, which means that whether you suffer from a low level of one hormone or an excess of another, you can take Vitex and this herb will regulate the pituitary gland to achieve optimum levels of the hormone.

This herb is particularly useful to those with low levels of progesterone as it restores it to normal levels. Low progesterone levels can cause miscarriage, so vitex can help prevent this from happening.

Vitex has a few side effects that you need to be aware of, the most noticeable being digestive upsets and a mild rash

Vitex should be taken for a period of several months in order to help with the cure for PCOS and ovarian cysts.

The typical recommended dose of Vitex is organic tincture is 1 teaspoon, 3 times a day for 3 or 4 months. This herb can be taken daily for up to 18 continuous months, unless pregnancy occurs.

Please consult your doctor if this is something that you think would help you.

2. Garcinia Cambogia (Also known as Brindall Berries)

This small tropical fruit is also known as Malabar tamarind.It comes from central Asia and contains HCA (hydroxyl-citric-acid). This Acid enables carbohydrate to be turned into useable energy instead of being deposited as fat.

This herb can also be used as part of the cure for PCOS because it helps to suppress appetite, reduce sugar cravings and insulin resistance, and inhibit the formation of fat and cholesterol.

This herb is readily available in capsule form and you should be able to get some from good health stores.

One thing to bear in mind is that our bodies react to things in different way and these commonly used herbs in the cure for pcos may not have the same effect on you as they have had on others.
